[Cry Havoc]

Transformers. I thought it was funny. And although extremely hokey at some points, the eye candy was extremely high quality. On both fronts..... and backs.

Independence Day. Doomsday films make me giggle. Armageddon was nowhere near as fun to watch, though.

Twister. Although I used to be a meteorology major, so I think I'm excused in this.

Back in the day, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (especially the 2nd one). AB-SO-LUTE-LY! SCHWING!!!!!

Tremors 2. I still find it funny.

Haha! Those are great flicks... Any early Leah Thompson film is worth repeat viewings and Ione Skye was IT in Say Anything.

GalaxyQuest: I never liked the space genre, so this spoof is right up my ally. Poor-mans SpaceBalls.
Clueless: I can't believe I'm admitting this, but when it's on TV, I'll watch it. The dialogue cracks me up, and I love Stacey Dash.
Deep Blue Sea: Piece of crap, but the shark makes me laugh and it's just so bad it's entertaining.

The Princess Bride is a geek cult fave, nothing to be ashamed of. Isn't it odd that movie preference can arouse embarrassment? Or are we just playing a game and faking it?

I don't know why, but I always confuse her with Shelly Duvall.

[easjer]

Huh.

There are plenty that I should probably be ashamed of, but I'm not - Pretty Woman, Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, 10 Things I Hate About You (can quote most of it).

I probably am a little embarrassed by Twister, Mean Girls, and, um, Princess Diaries 2 (but I like Anne Hathaway and Callum Blue is fucking hot).

I can't believe someone mentioned Thoroughly Modern Millie - I've only met 1 person who ever saw that, lol! Now I want to see it again.

[easjer]

Oh. God, I thought of another. Terrible, terrible movie, but I liked it anyway, because of the last lines:

"So. Wanna go have sex?"
Pause.
"Uh, yeah. Okay."

:lol It was really funny in the movie. . . which was Serving Sarah.

Along those lines - Bedazzled. Own it, love it. Oh, and on those lines, the recent Mummy movies.

Dude. That movie is classic, but it is also pretty bad. Won't stop me from watching it this weekend. :D

Twister is one of those bad movies I like. The editing is horrible. Favorite line:

Helen Hunt, talking about Cary Elwes, the bad guy, who's on TV...

"He really is in love with himself. I thought it was just a summer thing."

Artificial Intelligence ("AI") and The Cell with Jenny from the Block.

Nobody else fell in love with these two features except for me. I guess I was the only one to "get" them.

[peewee's lovechild]

Artificial Intelligence ("AI") and The Cell with Jenny from the Block.

Nobody else fell in love with these two features except for me. I guess I was the only one to "get" them.

I have defended AI plenty of times, and been ridiculed for doing so.

The Funt and I had a two hour conversation on the merits of the movie, as well as where it fails.

[exstatic]

I liked AI. If you realize that it was a Spielberg, but that he directed it like Kubrick as a memorial to the man, it makes it easier to "get", IMHO.

[atxrocker]

Artificial Intelligence ("AI")

Nobody else fell in love with these two features except for me. I guess I was the only one to "get" them.

you're not the only one. i have gone on record on this board a couple of times as being a fan of the movie. i think it is extremely underrated personally. i own it. to be fair, i didn't expect to even watch it much less dig it, but after watching the movie in its entirety i am a big fan.

[monosylab1k]

I thought A.I. was great, but I really think it would have been much, much better if Kubrick had the chance to direct it.

[Spurminator]

I love AI and I don't feel a bit ashamed about it.

I liked the middle of A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, but hated the rest of it to the point it actually makes me angry.

The Cell is crap in terms of story and script (and the director pretty much says so on the commentary), but absolutely stunning to look at and is a personal favorite based on visuals alone.

[CuckingFunt]

:lol I love the fucking vending machine in the desert. That movie is ridiculous, which is why I like it, too.
Cool points to Jekka for liking Head.






And cool points to me for writing that sentence.

i enjoyed every minute of it, but that's just me. it doesn't seem like a spielberg flick and is one of my personal favorites from him. the scene where the mom ditches david was brutal. and law's gigolo joe role and the teddy character were cool.

legends of the fall and the cider house rules... should i feel guilty about liking these movies?

[peewee's lovechild]

legends of the fall and the cider house rules... should i feel guilty about liking these movies?

Fuck no.

Both are great movies.

I've always had a thing for Julia Ormond, so I can't call Legends of The Fall a bad movie.

Cider House Rules is just all sorts of good. Toby Magwires(sp) best performance thus far.

[atxrocker]

Toby Magwires(sp) best performance thus far.


i absolutely fucking agree. by far in my opinion.

and julia ormond is very sexy in lotf.

There is a movie called "Far from Home" (no, not the adventures of yellow dog)
One of Drew Barrymore's first movies when she was a hot teenager with giant breasts and still on drugs.
It's one of those cheap cinemax movies you'd see after midnight.
I had the biggest crush on Drew Barrymore for the majority of my adolescence because of it, and can pretty much quote every line.
I highly recommend it.

I really liked Forest Gump. Good soundtrack too...

[CuckingFunt]

why would anyone be ashamed to like legends of the fall?
Because it's an overwrought, painfully acted, artificially sentimental, steaming pile of crap?

Though... it's a beautifully photographed, overwrought, painfully acted, artificially sentimental, steaming pile of crap that starred Brad Pitt, so I must admit to having owned it for several years. :oops

[CuckingFunt]

damn, CF.... artificially sentimental steaming pile of crap? your overly strong opinion of this movie is seriously misguided... it is what it is. and i appreciate every moment of it...
Meh... it's really one of those films that, I think, was made with the right intentions, but just never quite lives up to what it was trying to accomplish.

As for artificially sentimental, I'd go with that description just because it never managed to make me care quite as much as it tried to. In too many areas, it attempts to force a particular emotion on its audience rather than trusting the material enough to be genuinely engaging.

Like I said, I used to own the film and genuinely have a certain affection for the fact that it's at least trying to be something legitimately good (unlike the amount of crap made these days that's trying to do little more than trick the audience into dropping massive loads of money), there's just too much wrong with it for me to call it "good."
